SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 421,901, dated February25, 1890.

Application filed November 16, 1889. Serial No. 330,513. (No model.)

To all whom il /may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK BREHER, a citizen of the United States,residing at WVadena, in the county of Vadena and State of Minnesota,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fire-Bowls Used inConnectionwithTuyere-Irons and I do declare the following to be afull,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

My invention is a forgers fire-bowl, and is designed to be used inconnection with tuyereirons, and is intended to be placed over thetuyere-irons in a blacksmiths forge. It keeps the fire together and inplace, and prevents a great waste of coal that is caused by the claybreaking out around the tuyere-irons when a bowl of this kind is notused, such waste constantly increasing as the hole grows larger. In aforge when the bowl is made of clay the clay cracks and the fire spreadsand loses its intensity. Further, in a clay forge in poking the fire theclay soon breaks off and the basin becomes too large and irregular. Theobject of'this bowl is to avoid these defects.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan view of the bowl.Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the bowl. Fig. 3 is a perspective viewof one of the side slides. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of t-he'bowl withthe slides removed. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the bowl mounted ona tuyere-iron.

The bowl A is shaped somewhat like an ordinary wash-bowl, with anopening a in the to the ends and inner and outer faces of said slides,the other end reaching beyond the ends of said slides and fittingagainst the inner and outer faces of the bowl. These slides may beeasily removed and replaced.

Extending from the outer face of the bowl are three or more j ibs 0,provided with perforations c.

This bowl may be used with the slides B in the sides for horseshoeingand other like work, but should be taken out for work in fv]hich largebars of iron are used and the This bowl is to be fastened down byriveting to the jibs on the sides fiat pieces of iron and filling aroundwith clay until the clay is level with the top of the bowl.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

The bowl A, having in the center of its bottom the opening a, and in itssides openings a, slides B, fitting into said openings at, and havingthe ears 1), adapted to hold said slides in place, and suitable jibs O,to fasten the said bowl down, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
